[PATCH 6/9] include: Carve <linux/export.h> out of compat.h

As Linux source code might include that header directly and as it is a
simple "leaf header" (probably won't include other headers) that is
unlikely to be relevant to U-Boot, replicate the upstream header
definitions in a dedicated <linux/export.h> and include it in the
pre-existing compat.h for existing users.
